It's never wise to try to predict a change in the Hudson Valley real estate market. But when you look at three key factors that will be affecting Hudson Valley home sales this spring, it seems obvious to me there’s a storm on the horizon. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you should be prepared.
Factor 1: Last Year's Anxious Home Buyers
Many people trying to buy homes in late 2020 and winter of 2021 found nothing but frustration. Because there were so few homes on the market, the competition for good ones was intense.
